I have recently put Odins levelling on hold as im just bored with the grinding (he will return!). Anyway I rolled a blood elf rogue on a new server and at 19 took her into Warsong gulch. She is a superstar and absolutely deadly! I have all the PvP rewards and so decided to start to level her again with my aim to take her into the 29 bracket WSG.
However, late last night I almost hit 21, but then decided on a rather mad course of action - take her into WSG again - at level 20. To say im rather surprised at the results would be an understatement. Played 6 won 5 lost 1. Only 5 flag caps in all of that, but thats not too bad really - for a level 20! I found that even at this low level I could hold my own fairly well even against the higher levels. Someone called me a twink which did make me laugh.
I will take her in again today I think, but what are your thoughts about this? Another rogue asked me why I was playing at level 20 (and to GTFO), but 2 flag caps later he was asking which bg I was going in next!
Good times :)

Do what you enjoy! If you are having fun, then have at it! I have an untwinked 17 rogue that is wearing like 3 greens and one of them is "of spirit" and I thikn his daggers are from the level 10 quest and the original level 1 dagger.
Anywho, whenever I get bored I LOVE to take him into wsg and see what I can do. With like 200 life, its quite a change from my normal playings of 19 wsg!
Now then, I do suggest that when you start thinking about leveling this toon for real, that you stock up on your tokens so when you hit 70 you will have more htan enough to get yourself some decent gear!
Thanks for the reply Stigg :)
I have a strange love for Sinly - shes both HAWTZ and an efficient killing machine. I will level her up but im enjoying playing her in Warsong gulch too much at the moment! Shes nasty/evil but it does fit her playstyle which bizarrely is different to Odins (honourable chap!) - I think im a role player at heart ;)
Go and roll an Alliance rogue. You'll see BGs are totally different from that point of view =P.
Mmmm yes I quite fancy a Gnome......watch this space :)
How are they different though? I suppose it comes down to Horde being "bigger/badder" I mainly play alliance so Sinly is my best and highest Horde character.
On both servers I play on (different battlegroups too), it means "Horde wins 90% of the time".
Let me elaborate.
For some reason, the Horde is just better organised. At first I thought I might have been unlucky and ended up against non-PUGish Horde groups, but after playing Horde in totally PUG groups, and many more on Alliance, I have come to the conclusion that Horde players mysteriously know how to work together even with a minimum amount of communication.
On my human mage (level 70), in WSG, Alliance players just seem to run toward the Horde base without thinking and they just quite randomly hit what they see. Most people don't even bother trying to form a rudimentary strategy and just rush alone everywhere. You know, the "as soon as I resurrect, I rush down and get myself killed" syndrome. Of course, the Horde isn't perfect either. But when I played with my undead warlock, things were so much easier. Horde players move in groups quite often and don't have those weird suicidal thoughts that cross the majority of the Allies' minds.
People often say that the Horde winning all the time is a WSG syndrome. Perhaps, but I can say that I have seen a similar level of disorganisation from the Alliance in Arathi Basin as well.
